DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Some embodiments relate to displays, mobile displays, light-emitting diode (LED) displays, and/or micro light-emitting diode (μLED) displays. Some embodiments relate to integrating technologies (for example, image sensor and/or camera and/or camera sensor technologies) with display technologies (for example, mobile display, light-emitting diode (LED) display, and/or micro light-emitting diode (μLED) display technologies). Some embodiments relate to including image sensor and/or camera and/or camera sensor technologies with one or more display pixel (for example, one or more mobile display, light-emitting diode (LED) display, and/or micro light-emitting diode (μLED) display pixel). Some embodiments relate to integrating technologies for example, camera, image sensor, camera sensor, sensor, storage, and/or memory technologies) with a display pixel (for example, one or more mobile display, light-emitting diode (LED) display, and/or micro light-emitting diode (μLED) display pixel).

The terms integrate, integrating, integrated, etc. are used herein as being included together. For example, an image sensor (and/or other type of sensor) is integrated with a display pixel LED in some embodiments. In some embodiments, integrate, integrating, integrated, etc. of the devices includes embodiments in which the devices are included together and not necessary integrated together in one integrated circuit, but can be integrated together in one integrated circuit in some embodiments. In some embodiments, the devices are included on a same substrate. For example, in some embodiments, one or more sensors is integrated (for example, included) on a same substrate with display pixels (for example, on the backplane of a display panel). In some embodiments, this substrate is a non-conductive substrate similar to the substrate of a circuit board such as a printed circuit board (PCB).

As described above, displays based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs) such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and/or inorganic micro light-emitting diodes (also referred to as micro LEDs or μLEDs) may be used for applications in emerging portable electronics and wearable computers (for example, computing devices, laptop computers, mobile devices, tablets, phones, head mounted displays, head worn displays, wristwatches, wearable watch displays, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) displays, mixed reality displays, OLED displays, micro LED displays, etc).

Display and/or camera technologies have advanced tremendously. For example, some of the biggest innovations in phones and other computing devices have occurred due to advancements initiated by display and/or camera technologies. In some embodiments, display and camera technologies can be integrated.

Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology can be used in OLED display devices. OLED technology can be implemented in OLED displays, resulting in thin and low power displays that can be used in mobile devices. Micro light-emitting diode (micro LED or μLED) display devices can provide high efficiency with low power. In some embodiments, an LED based display (for example, a μLED based display) is implemented with integrated LED (for example, μLED) and image sensor devices (for example, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor or CMOS camera image sensor devices).

According to some embodiments, employing a small sized pixel element such as a μLED (for example, 5 μm by 5 μm) in a larger display pixel (for example, 40 μm by 70 μm, 80 μm by 80 μm, 100 μm by 100 μm, etc.), can provide enough open area within the display pixel for other devices (and/or electronics) to be added within the display pixel (that is, for example, within the display pixel structure and/or on the same display pixel substrate). For example, other electronics can be added to a display pixel that co-exist with the substrate and/or address a group of pixels, etc. In some embodiments, an image sensor (for example, a camera sensor) can be added to the display pixel. In some embodiments, memory cells such as static random access memory (SRAM) memory cells or dynamic random access memory (DRAM) memory cells can be added to the display pixel. In some embodiments, sensors can be added to a display pixel (for example, sensors such as one or more image and/or camera sensors, touch sensors, pressure sensors, vibration sensors, temperature sensors, accelerometers, and/or gyroscopes, etc. can be added to a display pixel). In some embodiments, logic architecture can be added to a display pixel. Addition of devices and/or components to a display pixel may permit display functionality without the need for communication back and forth with a host (or host silicon), for example. In some embodiments, for example, panel self-refresh can be implemented without communication between a pixel and a host.

Micro LED displays use different materials (μLEDs) and processes (micro-transfer) compared with other display technologies such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs). Micro LED manufacturing can include fabrication of μLEDs on a wafer substrate (for example, in micrometer dimensions such as 5 μm by 5 μm). Some active matrix μLED display panels use GaN-based (Gallium Nitride based) or GaP-based (Gallium Phosphide based) μLEDs that emit red, green and blue colors. These μLEDs can be first fabricated on separate wafers (for example, silicon or sapphire) and then transferred from wafer to thin-film transistor (TFT) backplanes to make RGB pixels (red, green and blue pixels) that make up an active matrix μLED display panel.

In some embodiments, an image sensor (for example, a camera sensor such as a camera CMOS sensor) can be integrated into a display pixel (for example, an LED display pixel and/or a μLED display pixel). In some embodiments, an image sensor can be integrated on a same substrate with display pixels (for example, on the backplane of a display panel). In some embodiments, other sensors, memory, storage, etc. can be integrated on a same substrate with display pixels (for example, on the backplane of a display panel). In some embodiments, this substrate is a non-conductive substrate similar to the substrate of a circuit board such as a printed circuit board (PCB). In some embodiments, a micro lens can be integrated on top of one or more sensors (for example, one or more image sensors) in a display pixel (for example, an LED display pixel and/or a μLED display pixel).

In some embodiments, integration of an image sensor, camera sensor and/or camera in a display pixel can enable various usage models (for example, usage models for computing devices, laptop computers, mobile devices, tablets, phones, head mounted displays, head worn displays, wristwatches, wearable watch displays, Virtual Reality displays, Augmented Reality displays, mixed reality displays, etc.)

In some embodiments, an image sensor, camera sensor and/or camera can be integrated in one or more display pixels, which can allow a small and thin form factor of the display and/or the device in which the display is included. In some embodiments, an image sensor, camera sensor and/or camera can be integrated in one or more display pixels, which can mitigate against eye gaze mismatch since display and camera sensor locations are almost exactly the same. In some embodiments, triangular depth sensing can be used. In some embodiments, depth measurement range can be determined by camera distance. In some embodiments, camera distance can be dynamically adjustable based on target depth.

In some embodiments, one or more image sensors can be distributed within one or more (or all) pixels in a display. This can help provide a situation where the image sensors can capture an image of a person where the person is looking directly into one or more of the image sensors rather than exhibiting a gaze mismatch where a user is looking at the display, but the camera is at a slightly different location than the display. This can also provide space for a camera in small devices that include a display such as, for example small wearable devices such as smart watches, etc., where device real estate is constrained due to the small size of the device. In some embodiments, it is not necessary to assign a camera space that is external to the display. In some embodiments, camera like functions can be integrated into the display pixels and still generate an enhanced image (for example, using many image sensors distributed within many or all pixels of a display array of pixels).

Some embodiments relate to flat panel light-emitting diode (LED) displays in which an array of LEDs are used as pixels in a video display. Some embodiments relate to micro light-emitting diode (micro LED or μLED) displays in which an array of μLEDs are used as pixels in a video display. Although LED displays with an array of LEDs such as organic LEDs (OLEDs), μLEDs, etc. are described herein, some embodiments relate to display with an array of other types of light emitting devices other than LEDs, OLEDs or μLEDs.

In some embodiments, display functionality and/or other functionality can occur within the display pixel 100 and/or within a display panel that includes display pixel 100 without any need for communication back and forth with a host (for example, panel self-refresh may be performed in some embodiments without any communication with a host).

FIG. 3 illustrates an environment 300 in which a user 302 is viewing a display 304. Display 304 displays an image 306 (for example, of a person). Display 304 additionally includes an attached camera 308. When the user 302 views the image 306 on display 304, it is natural for the eyes of user 302 to be looking (and/or gazing) at the image 306 (for example, looking or gazing at the eyes of the person in the image 306). It is not natural for the user 302 to be looking or gazing at the camera 308. FIG. 3 illustrates a gaze angle 312 between a dotted line of an actual gaze of user 302 from the user toward the eyes of the person in image 306 and another dotted line from a lens of camera 308 to the eyes of the user 302, for example.

In many scenarios, it is advantageous for a user such as user 302 to be looking into a camera such as camera 308, but it is natural for a user such as user 302 to look at an image such as image 306 on a display such as display 304. In particular, it is natural for a user such as user 302 to look into the eyes of the person in the image 306 rather than into camera 308. However, in some embodiments, a camera at a display pixel near one or more of the eyes of the person in the image 306 can be used in some embodiments. For example, in depth sensing according to some embodiments, a depth measurement range is determined by camera distance. In some embodiments, camera distance can be dynamically adjustable based upon target depth. In some embodiments, triangular depth sensing can be implemented using a camera within a display pixel located at or near a location of the eyes of the person in the image 306 and/or another camera (for example, camera 308 and/or another camera located in another display pixel of the display 304). In some embodiments, IR illuminator 314 can be used along with, for example, a camera such as an image sensor (and/or camera) and/or an IR sensor (and/or IR LED) to implement depth sensing. In some embodiments, IR illuminator 314 can be used along with, for example, a camera such as an image sensor (and/or camera) within one or more display pixel of display 304 and/or an IR sensor (and/or IR LED) within one or more display pixel of display 304 to implement depth sensing.

In some embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 10, 11 and/or 12, for example, display pixel image sensors to be used for depth sensing can be chosen automatically and/or with user input, depending on a distance from the image sensors to the intended object for which depth sense information is desired. These image sensors can be at different distances from each other under different circumstances (that is, for example, under different distances to desired depth sense objects), since image sensors can be distributed throughout the display at the various display pixels. In some embodiments, a user can adjust the distance between image sensors to be used for depth sensing (for example, in a manner similar to a zoom feature on a camera). In some embodiments, a distance between image sensors to be used for depth sensing can be dynamically adjusted by the device (for example, in a manner similar to an autofocus feature and/or auto-depth optimization, and/or using a processor such as an application processor). In some embodiments, a distance can be used that is a distance between eyes of a particular user or between the eyes of an average user, etc. (for example, 55 mm, or a sliding distance of 52 mm to 74 mm).

FIG. 13 illustrates depth sensing graph 1300 showing a depth sensing range in centimeters on the vertical axis and a camera distance in millimeters on the horizontal axis. In some embodiments, FIG. 13 illustrates a depth sensing range and a camera baseline. Dotted line 1302 illustrates a maximum depth and solid line 1304 illustrates a minimum depth according to some embodiments. Thicker line 1306 represents a preferred depth accuracy zone according to some embodiments.

In depth sensing such as triangular depth sensing, a depth measurement range is determined by a camera distance (for example, a camera distance as shown by arrows in FIG. 10, FIG. 11 and/or FIG. 12). A preferred depth accuracy can be achieved around a center of the range represented by thick line 1306. In some embodiments, the camera distance is dynamically adjustable. For example, at a beginning of depth measurement, a longer range mode may be used (for example, with a 150 mm camera distance), and a depth is determined of 3 meters at point A in FIG. 13. In some embodiments, an autorange method is used to search for a point that can achieve a better (and/or best) depth accuracy at a 3 meter range, and selects point B in FIG. 13, for example. It is thus determined that 80 mm is the best camera distance for this distance and subject. The system then re-measures to determine a more accurate depth (range) measurement, for example, using triangular depth sensing.

In some embodiments, a display with 400 lines and 400 columns can include a pixel array with a number of pixels. For example, in some embodiments, a number of pixels in an array may include a number of pixels equal to 400×400 pixel groups (160,000 pixel groups) times the number of colors. For example, in some embodiments there are three colors in a red green blue (or RGB) system, and there would be 480,000 pixels (and 960,000 LEDs in embodiments with two LEDs per pixel) for the 400×400 display (400 times 400 pixel groups results in 160,000 pixel groups times 3 equals 480,000 pixels, since each color could have a separate pixel for each of the pixel groups in the array).

FIG. 14 illustrates a display pixel array 1400 (for example, a mobile display pixel array, and/or a micro LED pixel array, etc). Pixel array 1400 displays pixel groups in X rows and Y columns. In some embodiments, pixel array system 1400 displays pixel groups in 400 rows and 400 columns. Each pixel group in the pixel array system 1400 includes a number of pixels, one for each color. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1400, each pixel group includes a pixel for each of a number of colors in the display pixel array. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 14, a separate pixel is illustrated in each pixel group for each of red (R), blue (B), and green (G) pixels. FIG. 14 illustrates X pixel groups in each column and Y pixel groups in each row. Row 1 includes pixel group 11 (1402) with a red pixel 1402R, a green pixel 1402G and a blue pixel 1402B, pixel group 12 (1404) with a red pixel 1404R, a green pixel 1404G and a blue pixel 1404B, pixel group 13 (1406) with a red pixel 1406R, a green pixel 1406G and a blue pixel 1406B, . . . , pixel group 1Y (1408) with a red pixel 1408R, a green pixel 1408G and a blue pixel 1408B.

In some embodiments, one or more (and/or each) of the pixels in the system 1400 (for example, pixels 1402R, 1402G, 1402B, 1404R, 1404G, 1404B, 1406R, 1406G, 1406B, . . . , 1408R, 1408G, 1408B, 1412R, 1412G, 1412B, 1414R, 1414G, 1414B, 1416R, 1416G, 1416B, . . . , 1418R, 1418G, 1418B, 1422R, 1422G, 1422B, 1424R, 1424G, 1424B, 1426R, 1426G, 1426B, . . . , 1428R, 1428G, 1428B, . . . , 1492R, 1492G, 1492B, 1494R, 1494G, 1494B, 1496R, 1496G, 1496B, . . . , 1498R, 1498G, 1498B, etc.) may be implemented using one or more of the pixels 100, 220, 240, 260, 520, 530, 560, 920, 940, 960, etc. described herein.

In some embodiments, one or more (and/or each) of the pixel groups in the system 1400 (for example, pixel group 1402, 1404, 1406, . . . , 1408, 1412, 1414, 1416, . . . , 1418, 1422, 1424, 1426, . . . , 1428, . . . , 1492, 1494, 1496, . . . , 1498, etc. may be implemented using one or more of the pixel groups 200, 520/540/560, 920/940/960, etc. described herein.

In some embodiments, multiple LEDs (for example, μLEDs) are arranged (for example, in parallel with each other) for each pixel in a display (for example, for fault tolerance and/or redundancy purposes). For example, in some embodiments, multiple redundant LEDs (for example, LED 102 and 104, LED 222 and 224, LED 242 and 244, LED 262 and 264, LED 522 and 524, LED 542 and 544, LED 562 and 564, LED 922 and 924, LED 942 and 94, LED 962 and 964, etc.) are arranged (for example in parallel) for each pixel in a display. For example, redundant LEDs may be used where those redundant LEDs together provide brightness for a single pixel (and/or single color for each pixel group) in a display array of pixels (for example, a mobile display array of pixels). In this manner, redundant LEDs may be used to provide a fault tolerance relating to the LEDs. In this manner, if one LED is not working for some reason, one or more other LEDs still provide the same amount of luminance that all of the LEDs would have together provided in parallel. While two redundant LEDs have been illustrated and described herein, according to some embodiments, one single LED can be used per pixel. Similarly, according to some embodiments, more than two LEDs can be used per pixel. It is noted that embodiments are not limited to two LEDs per pixel as illustrated and described herein, since some embodiments can include one LED per pixel, some embodiments, can include three LEDs per pixel, and/or some embodiments can include four or more LEDs per pixel, for example.

In response to the projected and sensed IR light, a processor (for example, processor 1502 and/or processor 1602) can be used to perform depth sensing on the projected and sensed IR light to determine image depths according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, other processors can be used (for example, an application processor that is specifically used as a depth sensing processor). In some embodiments, one or more display pixel image sensor (for example, one or more of image sensors 106, 226, 246, 266, 526, 546, 566, 926, 946, 966, etc.) may also be used to help enable depth sensing.
